Lee Min Ho Says Good Friend Kim Bum’s Romance Style is Just Like Kim Tan in Heirs

View Comments

• Bwahahaha! Kim Bum the creep.
  Don't read too much into it. I'm sure what he wanted to say is, 'very
  direct and forward, bravely
  pursuing the girl he likes.'

  P.S- Why KES leads are so much adored in Korea? They are all creeps. Not romantic at all.

  • Because it's every girl's dream to be adored by one incredibly attractive guy to the point he never takes his eyes off of her. I want a Kim Tan; he sooo handsome, and sweet, and charming. He even buys couple clothes for his girlfriend, and protects her from other guys. I just don't understand why

    • ....people don't understand him!!! He's like the bestest guy out there.

    • If you look past all the sweet things he did for eun sang and focus on the subtext -- you'll start to see it.
      You wouldn't want to be kissed against your will (no matter how attractive he is), told where to go, where to be at all times, told who to meet. So while Kim Tan might have been a nicer KES male lead than usual, the things he said to her turned me off. Basically he treated her as something he claimed. like a prize.

  • You ask a very good question.
    AGD had more than one type of male lead, but it was creepy Jang Dong Gun that got all the love.

    • Ugh, I hated JDG's character in AGD. He's the reason I couldn't get past ep 6. His "I like you but meanwhile I'm going to continue sleeping with other women but you shouldn't be offended and should still date me" schtick was the straw that broke the camel's back.

      I feel like KES's heroes are getting creepier and more stalkerish with every outing. Oh how I miss the days of Jo Gook and Shin Mirae.

  • @ messi

    "Kim Bum the creep"

    I'm certain you meant Kim Tan.

• I think 'stares a lot at the girl
  he likes' part might be true. Hahaha :-)

• Haha. compared to his boys before flowers role im sure he meant well when he said that. Or atleast I hope. Park shin hye(in an interview) managed to describe kim tan as "gentle" so im not surprised if the whole cast/south korean audience were under that impression.
  I fault that on KES 100% and remain cautious in all her male characters. Even if she makes the nicest male lead ever in the history of k-dramas in her next drama there will always be an aggressive, controlling overlord underneath all the pretty and "romantic" things he did.

• Maybe Kim Bum wears pink lipstick and stares at Moon Geun Young all day. Lol!

• I wanna add my personal pet peeve:
  10. Kim Tan wrist-grabs a lot. Do not emulate.

  • I agree. No girl likes getting dragged around everywhere. I love Lee Minho but that wrist grabbing turned me off the character big time!

• lol Koala you crack me up.

  Kim Tan's one of the worst 'hero' figures in a drama in recent years. Yeah, Young Do is terrible but at least the drama is clear that he's considered awful and cannot have the girl. Tan otoh.....

• really lol at ''kim tan wears pink lipstick''... I almost think he's a gay when i see him for the first time in heirs, but man..this is lee min ho we're talking about...so my mind wins against my eyes..
  But tan's english really disturb me.. I had to replay it to hear it clearly everytime tan start talking english...even bona better than him..
  Koala unni, maybe u can add one more in that list..like kim tan can't really speaking english? Hehe

  • Krystal Jung was born in San Francisco, USA. She got in touch with K-entertainment when she and her family had a trip to South Korea in early 2000, but she was still 5 yrs old and her parents didn't allow her to. Jessica (SNSD) is her sister. Her family residing in USA since 1980s. So she is fluently in English speaking.

• I still trying to understand how come KES became such an honored and beloved writer due her full of cliches and declared chauvinism screenwriting. I managed to complete only two of her dramas: City Hall, which I love to bits because its her only drama that the heroine isn't damsel in distress waiting for a knight come to rescue her and Lovers In Paris with two of my favorite actors and despite the confusing end. But Hair was SO bad and poorly written that even I had a chance to see all nine sections Captain reminded although I retired after episode 6.

• My crush on Kim Bum is over, now that he has a girlfriend. But like my brother always say " it's not like your gonna get the a chance with the boy anyways"!! what ever brother!!!!

• Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye is a perfect couple. Wish they date for real!
  Wish LMH go straight to the girl he likes and hope that girl is Park Shin Hye.
